Remembering People of Resolve

Look up the word "resolve" in a dictionary and copy the clearest meaning on paper.  Note the source you used to define it.

Write a summary for the last lesson, "The Scottish Covenanters."

Choose one of the projects listed and complete it, bringing it to class this Tuesday.

A) It was customary in Scotland to write poetry.  Choose one of the martyrs from the lesson and write a short poem about him or her.  Then, sketch the shape of a tombstone onto a piece of paper large enough to enclose your poem within it.  Then, using fancy handwriting or calligraphy, write the poem within the tombstone on your paper.  You may also choose to print it from a computer if you prefer.

B) Psalm 25, Psalm 103, and Revelation 19 were passages of the Bible used by the Covenanters while facing death and persecution.  Write about what you find most meaningful from those passages.  What Scripture has helped you through a difficult time.  You may include that testimony as part of your writing as well.

C) Jenny Geddes was a girl with an interesting story in history.  Research her story and her reaction to civil authorities.  Tell about what you find in a written report.  Discuss the right or wrong of her actions.

D) Daniel Defoe was an Englishman who lived during the same historical period as the last lesson.  He wrote Robinson Crusoe.  Research his life and write a biographical report about his life and times.  Draw attention to the events that influenced his many works of literature.
